Entertainment WeeklyMelissa MaerzAug 7, 2014
Season 2 Review: Josh's anxiety may occasionally drive you mental. But then, if you can fully appreciate the brilliance of this quarterlife-crisis suicide comedy, you may already be a little mental. So that's nice. Read full review

Season 3 Review: Showrunner/star Josh Thomas has only gotten better at mixing mordant one-liners with nuanced emotional drama. [16 Oct 2015]

Season 1 Review: Please Like Me, unlike the much-praised millennial comedy "Girls," feels unpretentious and natural with fully-realized characters rooted in reality. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It's not only the charm of the characters that raises "Please Like Me" above the lazy comparison. The series is also funny.

Season 1 Review: The humor is subtle, almost deadpan, but brilliant at every turn. Some moments become excruciating to watch, only because we've formed an immediate affection for Josh and hate seeing him screw things up for himself. Read full review

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob OwenAug 2, 2013
Season 1 Review: The pilot episode is more amusing than hilarious, but it's often delicately funny thanks to Mr. Thomas' odd duck character and his reactions to those around him. When Geoffrey (Wade Briggs) hits on him, he's flummoxed. Read full review
